The Scott Gilfoid tribute thread

[Matt W]

Just a few questions that I think deserve further analysis:

- Was Khan worried like mad in training?
- What is a pillor ('knocked from pillor to post')?

Another piece of Gilfoid's shite. Now he's pretending to a British muslim.

The facts that he writes "defense" instead of the English "defence" and he spells Pakistan incorrectly clearly show that this tripe was not written by a British muslim.

Cheers Wake Up! I only need to see this thread reactivated to make me smile! Mmm. Is The Gilf really this cunning, I wonder? Not beyond him to be a master spin doctor as well as a journalistic genius. This man can turn his hand to anything. As has been pointed out though, clearly not written by a British Muslim, way too many Americanisms in there. So that's Five aliases and counting, yes?

The Legend is back - and he's changed his tune on Froch v Abraham!

[dondada]

His revisionist stance on Froch-Abraham is priceless.

Plus this:

"Things are going to go badly for Froch I hate to say." Yes, of course you hate to say it

"Froch is going to look hideous from the big shots he’s going to be eating all night long. Eventually, I see Froch getting taken out with a big shot from Johnson and left in a crumpled heap on the canvas."

He's obviously had a w*nk over this, such is the detail.

[Chambers2]

1) I can't beleive this prick gets this shite put up on a website
2) I can't eblieve this prick has got his own BoxRec tribute thread

What is the world coming to?

[SweetLikeSugar]

I can almost see his next article on Froch: "Froch gets lucky in win over completely shot Johnson; I fear for his safety v Ward".

[MightyWarrior]

He is the "Plan nine from out of space" of boxing writing - a level so bad that it makes you doubt your sanity. Each of his articles hits a new low, and you think it can't get any worse....then next one arrives, and crashes though the floor to a new level that you never previously knew existed.

[TheCobra]

Read the first paragraph of the Froch article and gave up. It's 'look at me' stuff, it's like that one guy you usually get on a forum who you would call a 'troll', except this prick writes it on a website instead. Am not gona give that site even one more visitor worth of traffic from now on!

[whiskey]

It's simply a ploy to get more traffic and more views / page impressions of their adverts.

It's that German nobhead who owns eastside that runs it. Troll city with no moderation in place.

Exactly - the man's a legend. Possibly the biggest c*nt in the web boxing world and you know there's so much more to come. Normally I'd be with Chambers' moral indignation but Gilfoid and all his aliases rise far above that into a new stratosphere.

His take on how Froch would fare against Pascal and Hopkins after last night

This guy is a pure troll, his wife must have run off with a Brit given that he has nothing but negative things to say about boxers from here.

But the great man, under his own name, throws us crazy Brits a curveball by loving DeGale:

Please stop linking him, he makes me want to gouge out my eyes while I'm reading it.

Don't speak so ill of the best comedy writer since Woody Allen

Before I generate any revenue for them, can someone answer a question for me please (Asterix & Poncey mate I'm looking at you two here!)?

mainly so he can have another dig at Froch..... wait until DeGale beats an american, then he will definately change his tune

It not funny because he believes the shit he writes.

Honestly, that makes it funnier for me. I have mental images of this fat, stained T-shirt wearing buffoon in a basement somewhere posting increasingly furious articles as his predictions fail to materialise.

[Loynesy]

I'm currently looking into the legal implications of this Ian. You may be hearing from my laywer.

When you're lawyer reads 'The Best of The Gilf', he'll abandon the law and take up the quill at ringside, trying to emulate the great one.

Don't put him through it mate. I've been there. I'm still there, in fact.

As Ian's sometime lawyer, please copy me in on all correspondence. All legal documents should be in the style of the GILF.

[dondada]

I think King G offers wise counsel here, Loynesy.

Even if we win in the world of the GILF, we lose - and it's compounded by the fact we're both Brits and are therefore inherently shite.

[Poncey]

If you go in via a cached page, does the website still get hits?

Yes. Cached BoxRec pages still increase views when they are accessed provided they have a count mechanism on the page (which is the collated at the website level)

I'd be amazed if it didn't as it's basic programming.

I was unlucky enough to unwittingly stumble onto another article by the great man.
Amazingly, I think he may be about to get his first ever correct prediction !! ( as he might say, "this is a fact." )

And I think he secretly loves all British fighters.

[banjo]

We should have known Groves would win. Gilfoid predicted Groves had little chance.

I’m giving Groves very little chance of beating DeGale on May 21st.

Your name is Scott, is the name change trying to hide something mr formerly known as SG1985? ;;-)

[SWALSH]

He's done it again. Another pricelss prediction;

"This is going to be embarrassing."

Quite.

[dookus]

How many is that in a row he's managed to get wrong? I count at least 5..
